Abstract: According to the characteristics of more horizontal wells in offshore oilfield, the data of horizontal wells are deeply analyzed to predict the formation dip angle. According to the relative position between horizontal well and reservoir and the trajectory shape of horizontal section, the horizontal wells are classified into three types, namely "——" horizontal well, V-shaped horizontal well and low inclination horizontal well.This paper expounds the advantages and disadvantages of different types of horizontal wells in the process of data mining, and combined with the data characteristics of different types of horizontal wells, uses the methods of multi type resistivity logging cooperation, horizontal section splitting and comparison, true thickness direction correction and comparison to carry out secondary information mining, and predicts the formation dip angle.This method avoids the fact that the trajectory must be drilled out of the reservoir when the horizontal well predicts the formation dip angle, and obtains the regional structural change trend while ensuring the drilling rate. It can provide more geological basis for the fine development, adjustment and tapping potential of offshore oilfield.
